' Good-Bye,
Rheumatism.
The Right Remedy Will
Banish it Forever.
If you would forever be rid of
the aches and pains, and some
times the tortures produced by
Rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who con
tinue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The doctor’s treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, which only intensify the
disease, causing the joints to stiff
en and the bones to ache, besides
seriously impairing the digestive
organs.
Rheumatism is a disordered state of
the blood, and the only cure for it is a
real blood remedy. Swift’s Specific (S.
S. S.) goes down to the very bottom of
all diseases of the blood, and promptly
cures cases that other remedies can not
reach.
Mr. E. K S. Clinkenbeard, a promi
nent attorney.of Mt. Sterling, Ky.,
writes:
“Two years ago I was a great sufferer
from Rheumatism. I had tried every
remedy I could hear of except 8. S. S.

A cable dispatch from Havaua re

$400,000 for the Tacon theater prop

putting a magnificent hotel on it.
The owners, however, want $500,-

Love Your Lover.
Intimate acquaintance, congenial
ity of tastes and purposes, respect,
admiration, material and social ad
vancement —all these may appeal at
some time to the young woman or
the young man as furnishing the pos
sible material for a prosperous ven
ture into matrimony. But to those
of us who are on this side of married
life, with years of experience to give
us ineight, there never was a greater
fallacy. I would say to all young
women (and I would I had the
tongues of angels to say it as I should,)
“Love your lover or do not marry
him.” Respect and admiration may
do for friendship. Marriage abso
lutely demands love. You remember
that when the apostle Peter sums up
the qualities that go to make the per
fect Christian character he does not
bfgin by urging the necessity of
faith. He assumes its existence at
the start. He says, “Add to your
faith, virtue; and to virtue km wl
edge.” It is as if he would have us
know that faith is not to be regarded
simply as an adornment to the Chris
tian character. It is prerequisite.
It is the atmosphere in which the
Christian life has its breath and be
ing. So it is with love when the
time comes to settle the gravest
question of life.—Helen Watterson

Home Journal.

Largest Ranch in the World.
“It seems natural that the largest
ranch in the world should be found
in the largest state in the Union—
Texas,” writes William Clinton in
the February Ladies’ Home Journal.
“Indeed, this ranch ia so extensive
that some states could not contain it.
Connecticut, for example, could not
hold it by several thousand acres.
The two states of Rhode Island and
Delaware combined could not con
tain this immense ranch, which con
sists of three million acres, or about
fiye thousand square miles.
“About a dozen years ago, when
Texas needed a new Slate capitol,
the Legislature adopted a novel plan
to get it. A promise was held forth
that a vast tract of unappropriated
land would be given in exchange for
a suitable granite building at Austin.
Among those tempted by this offer
were Charles B. Farwell and his
brother John, who ultimately formed
a syndicate in Chicago and took
upon themselves the responsibility of
erecting the proposed capitol. Their
part of the agreement appears to
have been carried out to ihe satis
faction of the state, and in due time
they came into the possession of the
immense domain now known as the
X. I. T. ranch.”

DUNLAP & PICKRELL.
The God of Murderer*.
In a certain mountain village called
Laituk, on the northwest frontier of
Burma, is a sacred pool, in which is
said to live a nat—i. e., a demon —call-
ed Shearpanlai, who is the guardian
spirit of murderers.
When a mnrder is committed any
where in these hills, the water of this
pool is reported to turn blood red.
Now, when this happens it is a warn
ing sign to the villagers, who are the
wardens of the pool, to be on their
guard lest the murderer, whoever he
may be and from whatever village he
may come, unobserved, succeed in
reaching the pool, for the Chin law or
custom is that if a murderer manages
to elude the “avengers of blood’’ (who
are usually some near blood relations of
the victim) and the vigilance of the
guardians of the pool and succeeds in
gaining it and washes his hands in its
blood red water, which, as soon as this
occurs, resumes its usual appearance,
testifying that the god of murder is ap
peased, he is absolved from his blood
guiltiness and is thereafter a free man,
and no one may henceforth molest him.
On the other band, if he were over
taken by his pursuers or were he pre
vented by the village guardians from
reaching the well he would speedily pay
the penalty of his crime with his life.—
London Answers.
Biunarck asd the Po>p.
On another occasion—it was in 1898
—Eugen Wolf, the well known traveler
and writer, came on a visit to the prince,
after having passed through Rome and
having had an audience with the pope.
“The pope asked me where I was going
to on leaving Rome. I told him that I
was going back home to Germany and
that my first object would be to pay my
respects to Prince Bismarck, who had
hitherto always received me. The pope
thereupon said: ‘Il Principe di Bis
marck I Do not forget to greet him from
me. ’ 80, when I arrived at Friedrichs*
rub, I told the prince that I had greet
ings from Rome to deliver to him.
“ ‘Oh, indeed!’ said Bismarck. ‘I
suppose you have paid a visit to the
pope. How fares the health of the holy
father? I must tell you that I always
got on very well indeed with him. He
even gave me his highest decoration,
mounted in brilliants. It was only that
confounded (verflixte) little excellency
(Windthorst) whom I could not man
age to get along with.’ ” —Sidney
Whitman in Harper’s Magazine.
The Editor on Carelessneaa.
“Yes,’* said the editor as he put his
gum brush into the ink bottle and tried
to paste on a clipping with his pen,
“yes, the great fault of newspaper con
tributors is carelessness.
“Indeed,” he continued as he drop
ped the copy he had been writing into
the wastebasket and marked “Edito
rial” across the corner of a poem en
titled “An Ode to Death," “contribu
tors are terribly careless.
“You would be surprised," said he
as he clipped out a column of fashion
notes and labeled them “Farm," "to
see the slipshod writing that comes into
the editorial sanctum.
“Misspelled, unpunotuated, written
on both sides of the sheet, illegible, un
grammatical stuff. Contributors are
terribly careless. They are” —
Just then the office boy came in with
that dictatorial and autocratic manner
be has and demanded more copy, and
the editor banded him the love letter he
had just written to bis sweetheart.—

Private Butter.
I am reminded of an incident on one
of the Atlantic steamers which took
place not long ago and in which a mar
ried member of a family, to whom itTff
not necessary to allude, was a party.
The husband and wife appeared at all
meals, flanked on either side by a large
dish of butter.
As it was an English ship and butter
was not served at many of the meals,
some who were neighbors were delight
ed to see that the hors d’ouevre had at
last a place on the table. They helped
themselves bountifully at luncheon.
At dinner they were surprised to see
little sticks in the middle of the mound
of butter with a pasteboard card attach
ed. The card read, “Private Butter;
Keep Off the Grass. ”
It is needless to say that the hint was
taken.—New York Journal.
Eng-lish Army Pay.
The father of a subaltern in the Eng
lish army says that his son, “after hav
ing had about $5,000 spent on his edu
cation at a public school and being
crammed for bis examinations by various
tutors and about $1,250 more spent on
his uniform and Indian outfit, obtained
a second lieutenancy, for which he re
ceives the munificent pay of ss. Sd.
($1.80) a day, a sum scarcely sufficient
to pay for his messing, washing and
servant.” In India this is increased to
202 rupees a month, but his expenses are
at least 240 rupees. A balance is thus left
on the wrong side, which this British
parent has to make good.—Exchange.

How a Frog Hibernate*.
According to Simon Henry Sage, the
frog does not hibernate in leaves or the
trunks of trees, bat in a dry hole in the
ground not likely to freeze. He scratches
the hole with his hind feet and enters
backward. Once inside, there is appar
ently no trace of the fact outside. Frogs
found under frozen leaves are still able
to move about Mr. Sage has found
hibernating frogs with their extremities
and skin frozen, but their vital organs
were still intact, and they recovered
their activity on being liberated.—Lon

Sweetheart*.
Mr. A. Ballard, B. A., LL. 8.,- sends
us the following from Oxford: “Your
tale of the Italian prelate reminds me
of the negro student who at one of our
great missionary colleges was conduct
ing family prayers, and in an outburst
of enthusiasm prayed, ‘Give us all pure
hearts, give us all clean hearts, give us
all sweet hearts, ’ to which all the con
gregation replied, ‘Amen. ’ " —London

Famon« Dog Actors.
Os all the illustrious dogs which
ever trod the boards the most famous ia
Dragon, the property of Captain Mont
didier in the French army. This gentle
man was murdered in the forest of
Bondy by his friend, Lieutenant Ma
caire of the same regiment. After the
crime Dragon showed such a strange
aversion to Macaire that suspicion was
aroused against him. In the end he
confessed his crime, and his accomplice,
Landry, in trying to escape, was seized
by the faithful animal and bitten to
death.
This story has held the English stage,
on and off, since the year of Waterloo,
and it is only three decades since two
“stars, ” named Lamb and Emmett,
played in it with their trained dog Carlo
at the Marylebone theater, London,
then directed by Joe Cave. This animal
was also the principal performer in a
canine drama named “Poor Dog Tray. ’’
Eighty years ago there was a theater at
Peckham where a youth named John
Baldwin Buckstone made his debut as
the injured captain.
There is a venerable theatrical legend
which deals with a piece called “The
Caravan Driver and His Dog.” One
evening the leading tragedian was taken
ill, and the prompter rushed off to the
manager to inform him that the play
must be changed. “How you alarmed
me!’’ said that worthy man, ordering a
glass of strong brandy and water to
steady his nerves. “The tragedian un
well! I was afraid it was the dog. ”
New York Times.
Wanted, a Holograph Will.
A Canadian barrister is responsible
for the following: One day a farmer
came into his office and requested that
a holograph will should be prepared for
his signature. The lawyer began at
once to explain terms, but the tiller of
the prairie, who prided himself net a
little upon his legal knowledge, only
grew angry. “I want a holograph will, ”
he declared, “and I’m going to have
it,” he added in parenthesis. When the
impossibility of his request was still
pointed out he angrily stumped from
the office shouting out: “D—n it! If I
can’t have a holograph will, I’ll blamed
well die intestine!”
Almost as funny was the tradesman
who had recently been left some land.
He came to the lawyer with instruc
tions for a deed of transfer to be pre
pared in favor of himself. On being
asked his reasons, he gave them thus:
“Don’t feel sort of comfortable about
that bit of country. I know how par
ticular you lawyer gents are, and I
thought maybe that if I signed a deed
making over the property to myself no
one would be able to touch it. ” When
his application was refused, he went
away in a rage, and subsequently tried
to bring an action against the lawyer,
who, he imagined, was trying to de
fraud him.—Cornhill Magazine.
When Mascagni Composes.
Mascagni’s greatest passion and de
light is to conduct an orchestra, for
which he himself says he has a natural
talent. But what is more interesting is
to watch Mascagni composing his works.
His wife, Signora Lina; Mimi (his eldest
boy), Dino (another son) and Emilia
(his little daughter) all have their
parts in it. When the maestro is fever
ishly writing notes and rushing to the
piano to catch an inspiration, his wife
follows him to and fro, while the chil
dren climb on his knees, he uncon
sciously running his fingers through
their curls.
As soon as he has fixed on a melody
he gathers the children in his arms, and
they all roll indiscriminately on the
floor, the shouts, bumps, laughter, tears,
making such an uproar that at last
Sigfflfi Mascagni interferes, scolding
her -husband and telling him that a

A Maharajah’s Revenge.
The maharanee of Nepaul committed
suicide in horror at the disfigurement
which an attack of smallpox had caused
in her features. The maharajah, who
was passionately attached to her, first
wreaked bis vengeance on the physi
cians who had attended her in her ill
ness. Then he flew at higher game.
Out of the great temple he brought
the idols, placed loaded cannon before
them and bade gunners fire. In terror
at the proposed blasphemy they refused.
Thereupon the maharajah hanged sev
eral of them. The survivors then sub
mitted, and the guns were fired and the
idols blown to pieces.—Leipsic Missions

The Kingmaker.
The Earl of Warwick, commonly
called the “kingmaker,” from the fac
ulty with which he created and deposed
monarchs during the contest between
the house of York and Lancaster, lived
in style of magnificence and hospitality
of which no period perhaps furnishes
an example. No less than 30,000 per
sons are said to have lived at bis board
in the differ?: manors and castles
which he possessed, and the military,
allured by his hospitality as well as his
bravery, were strongly attached to his
interests. This distinguished warrior fell
at the battle of Barnet in 1471, when,
owing to the mistake of one part of his
army falling upon the other during a
fog, he was defeated by Edward IV.
In former battles Warwick bad al
ways fought ou horseback, that be
might at once ride along the line and
perceive the particulars of the action,
but on this occasion he determined to
fight on foot, that bis soldiers might
see that he was resolved to share with
them the dangers of the day. After hav
ing exerted himself as an officer and a
hero in fruitless attempts to turn the
tide of fortune in his favor he rushed
into the hottest part of the battle and
:fell covered with wounds. His brother,
.Montacute, in endeavoring to save him
met with a similar fate.—Nuggets.

When a Girl Should Learn to Unlove.
There is a time, I believe, in love’s
first approach when it is not too hard
to bar the door if there is reason why
it should not stand ajar. A girl may
not have to learn to love, but she
can learn to unlove if she must. She
herself must be the judge. If the
man brings her weakness instead of
strength, low ideals and no high
ones; if he is indolent or intemperate,
or unclean; if she feels that she will
be mated down, and not on the sweet
and wholesome level on which she
lives, then if she is truly wise she
draws the bar of the door gently but
resolutely and holds it fast. And
when her heart aches, as it doubtless
will sometimes, half out of sheer pity
for him and half because she so
misses the sweet accustomedness of
his presence, the little attentions, the
flowers, the tender look that stirred
her so stangely—when her heart
aches because of what is gone out of
her life, let her hold fast to her brave
resolution; let her strong self whisper
to her weak, pleading self, “I will be
nobly mated, or not at all.”—Hehn
Watterson Moody in the February
Ladies’ Home Journal.
The Spirit of Success.
One of th ■ most potent elements
of our success is our expectation that
we shall succeed. With hand and
brain we may work for success and
with all our might; but if we con
stantly fear failure and mentally
prognosticate it, we create around
ourselves an unfavorable atmosphere,
which would greatly help to fulfill
our prophecy.
Earnest and determined faith in
our success, while we plan and work
toward it, is a powerful factor against
which few conditions in life can long
stand opposed. We are daily learn
ing more and more of the reality of
thought, learning that our thought
about a matter influences it as surely
as our action toward it. Belief in
the accomplishment of what we
desire, and an intelligent planning
for it, while we wait the propitious
moment to act, will often bring about
the desired result without our co
operation, while impulsive work
without thought will as often fail.
If we believe this to be true, or
even if we do not, we may be able
to make the theory useful in a prac
tical way. If we do not believe it,
it will do no harm to test the matter,
and so give ourselves a possible extra
chance of success.
Impress the feeling of success on
your children in their school work.
Believe sincerely that they will be
promoted, that they are not to fail
in their recitations, that their essays
are to be excellent, and tell the little
doubters that you think so. This
mother’s faith in him is a tower of
strength to a child and gives him
courage and confidence to conquer
the most dreaded task. And if the
spirit of success can do so much for
a child, its intelligent application
will surely do as much for you.
Belieie that there is away out of
your difficulties and that you will
find it, even though you do not yet
know where it lies nor in what way
the help will come.
A Disgusted Brother.
I’d bats to be a girl,
With a lot of hair to curl;
Every time I ever started anywhere—
With a lot of stays to lace,
And to keep my clothes in place,
More than forty pins to stick in here and
there.
No wonder •woman’s slow
When she’s fixing up to go—
You’d be poky, too, if you were in her
place.
With hooks all up your back,
• With a pair of brows to black,
And a lot of stuff to smear upon your
face.
Oh, ’tis wonderful to me,
When a maiden I see—
A maiden with a beauty that is fresh and
sweet and rare—
- Knowing what Ido of girls,
With ’er primpings, puffs and curls,
That they ever manage to succeed in get
ting anywhere.

The Acquirement of Correct Speech.
Correct speech is largely a matter
of imitation. If the persons with
whom a child constantly associates
speak inelegantly the child will cer
tainly do likewise. No amount of
instruction in grammar, the theory of
language, will avail to c r nnle'O:i
the debasing effect of practical tui
tion in the wrong direction. Thee
is no such word in the English l-u
--guage as “ain’t.” We may say “I’m
not” because we merely eliminate the
a in am, but “ain’t” has no legitimate
progenitor. The home is the true j
school of speech, and the mother
the teacher whose influence will be
the most lasting.—February Ladies’
Home Journal.

His Honor’s Puzzling Name.
Many Chicago attorneys, finding
their cases for the first time on the
calendar of Judge Stough, found
themselves puzzled as to the pro
nunciation of the judge’s name.
“H>>w do you pronounce his name,
anyway?” said Lawyer Barrow to
Lawyer Burros the other day. “Is
it Stough to rhyme with tough?”
“No” said Burres. “I think it is
Stough to rhyme with dough.”
“Is it?” said Lawyer Stone. “I
thought it was Stough to rhyme with
cough; at least, I always speak of him
as Judge Stuff.”
“I guess I’m wrong then,” said
Lawyer Myers. “I always call him
Stough to rhyme with through—
Judge Stoo, you know.”
“Well, maybe all of you are right,”
said Lawrence Maxwell, “but I sup
posed his name rhymed with plough.”
“Maybe it rhyme-< wi>h hiccough
after all,” rejoined Barrow, “and is
pronounced Stupp.”
